Technical Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for wireless communications. A base station may send a message to a wireless device to activate uplink transmissions for a non-activated cell. The wireless device may receive the message and activate a previously non-activated cell.

Patent Claims
20 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the cell comprises a secondary cell.

4

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the sending the one or more data packets is based on a quantity of permitted repeat transmissions.

6

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a response message associated with the one or more data packets, wherein the response message comprises downlink control information.

7

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the activating the cell comprises re-activating a deactivated cell.

8

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the first message comprises at least one radio resource control message.

9

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the second message comprises at least one medium access control (MAC) control element (CE).

12

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the uplink radio resources are associated with a secondary cell.

14

14. The method of claim 11, wherein the sending the one or more first data packets comprises sending the one or more first data packets based on a quantity of permitted repeat transmissions.

20

20. The wireless device of claim 19, wherein the cell comprises a secondary cell.

21

21. The wireless device of claim 19, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to send the one or more data packets by sending the one or more data packets using a modulation and coding scheme, wherein the first message further indicates the modulation and coding scheme.

22

22. The wireless device of claim 19, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to send the one or more data packets based on a quantity of permitted repeat transmissions.

24

24. The wireless device of claim 19, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to receive a response message associated with the one or more data packets, wherein the response message comprises downlink control information.

25

25. The wireless device of claim 19, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to activate the cell by re- activating a deactivated cell.

26

26. The wireless device of claim 19, wherein the first message comprises at least one radio resource control message.

27

27. The wireless device of claim 19, wherein the second message comprises at least one medium access control (MAC) control element (CE).

30

30. The wireless device of claim 29, wherein the uplink radio resources are associated with a secondary cell.

31

31. The wireless device of claim 29, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to send the one or more first data packets by sending the one or more first data packets using a modulation and coding scheme indicated by the first message.

32

32. The wireless device of claim 29, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to send the one or more first data packets based on a quantity of permitted repeat transmissions.

34

34. The wireless device of claim 29, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to receive a response message associated with the one or more second data packets, wherein the response message comprises downlink control information.

36

36. The wireless device of claim 29, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to activate the uplink radio resources by re-activating a deactivated cell.
